What families say about Simplicity Cremations
Our crematorium serving Manchester
Our East Lancashire crematorium near Bury, Greater Manchester, opened in 2007 and has been supporting local families ever since.
Although located in the historic grounds of Radcliffe Cemetery, it serves communities right across Manchester and the wider North West, including Bury, Bolton, Whitefield, Prestwich, Ainsworth, Tottington and Ramsbottom.
For families choosing a simple, unattended direct cremation, our Radcliffe crematorium provides a convenient and respectful local setting. The multi‑faith chapel can accommodate all religious and non‑religious beliefs, and we hold two remembrance services each year so families can come together to honour loved ones.
The crematorium also offers disabled access, disabled toilets and a peaceful garden of remembrance, giving you a calm and supportive environment whenever you choose to visit.
